Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between the E Pacific
monsoonal flow and surface ridging across the northern Gulf of
Mexico is supporting fresh to strong E winds and rough seas in
the Bay of Campeche and moderate to fresh E winds elsewhere.
Winds over the SW basin are forecast to reach near gale-force
later today as a broad area of low pressure is expected to form
over SE Mexico, thus increasing the pressure gradient further.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual
development after this system moves over the Bay of Campeche
tonight, and a tropical depression could form over the SW Gulf
of Mexico this weekend while it moves slowly west-northwestward
or northwestward. Winds E of 90W are forecast to diminish to
gentle to moderate speeds Sat night and to light to gentle
speeds on Sun. Conditions are forecast to improve W of 90W Sun
night into Mon.
